## Summary

ORE Catapult commissioned the design, supply and installation of a demountable structure for its Power Quality (PQ) Test Facility in Blyth. The structure is intended to provide a weatherproof enclosure for the test facility and associated equipment, forming a key part of the wider facility delivery programme. The requirement is categorised as services and includes mechanical and electrical engineering services. The work is for ORE Catapult, a public undertaking, and is delivered at the PQ Test Facility in Blyth. This is a specialist construction and engineering requirement combining the design and manufacture or supply of a demountable building with its installation for use around testing equipment.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a below-threshold direct procedure without competition. RUBB Buildings Ltd was selected for the single lot. The award date was 19 August 2026 and the awarded value is £74,584.80 including VAT. The contract period runs from 20 August 2026 to 18 September 2026. A signature was scheduled for 19 August 2026. The requirement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender, so the published outcome identifies the selected supplier and the agreed scope rather than a comparison of competing bids. The award is active and relates to the full weatherproof-enclosure requirement for the PQ Test Facility.

This award demonstrates demand from ORE Catapult for compact, specialist facilities supporting testing equipment at its Blyth site. A credible future competitor would need to combine structural design, manufacture or supply, and installation of demountable weatherproof enclosures, with the practical engineering capability to integrate or accommodate associated mechanical and electrical requirements. Experience delivering enclosed technical or industrial facilities would help demonstrate understanding of equipment protection, site installation and programme coordination. Suppliers should be able to manage the requirement as an integrated package rather than offering only construction materials or only installation labour. The selected supplier is a large business, indicating that the buyer has previously placed this type of requirement with an established provider able to deliver the complete design-and-install service.
